I like to think of myself as a positive person overall. However this week, dissatisfaction in my job is filtering into other aspects of my life. Perhaps its because its the end of January, which is never a particularly exciting time of year anyway. Maybe its the point in my year here; 4 1/2 months in, not yet half done and not yet half remaining. I am grateful for everything that I have here, and much of it is due to working for the school I am working for. However I don't have any patience and understanding left for the mixed messages, the waste of time tasks, the lack of communication, on top of all the teaching, baby-sitting, marking and data entry that I already have to do. I'm not alone in this. Its hard to watch co-teachers being hassled by management because of parent's pressure on the school. With high turnover with Korean teachers, I feel like I have nothing left to offer of myself when a new teacher starts. I feel terrible because I'm sure I come across as unapproachable, but I have nothing left to give.
I'm a firm believer that one has the power to change anything in their lives if they are not happy. But I'm not a quitter and am going to finish the year. I want to give it my best too. The best part is the kids, and going into class and being looked at like I am the god of all adults is very rewarding. Eww, I just admitted to being an adult.

Isn't there someone you can talk to about this to make the whole program more efficient? After talking to you last night it sounds like you guys do a lot of waste of time stuff that doesn't make sense. And I think being an adult is EWW too. mima
Yes, that would be nice and would make sense, but no.
I would be wasting my breath. At this point, the less involved I get, the better.
